World Knowledge Cafes

build on your strengths

Every business and organisation sits on a goldmine - its people. Every employer and manager has much to contribute. By fully utilizing the knowledge and experience of your in-built talent, every business will grow and prosper.

A World Knowledge Café is a great way to channel this talent. Knowledge Management specialist Dr Helen Paige is an expert in facilitating these workshops, and our Knowledge Cafes provide an informal, time-effective and highly productive medium for exchange and harvesting of knowledge, in-depth discussion and goal setting.

World Knowledge Cafes are a stimulating but non-threatening way to capture and examine the ideas and experience of the people within your organisation. They allow groups of people to have an open, creative conversation on topics of mutual interest to gain a deeper collective understanding of the subject and the issues involved. K-Cafes are designed to bring people together to engage in open, creative conversations over issues of mutual interest, with the intent to learn from each other; gain a deeper insight into the topics discussed and to better understand other people’s perspectives.

A World Knowledge Café is a learning community that brings people together to learn from each other, in order to profit from in-house intellectual capital, to make a difference, or to introduce change in their organisational practices. Cafes also provide excellent networking, knowledge sharing and learning opportunities.

These sessions can make a real difference in introducing change and progress to an organisation.

These Cafes are now run across the globe. Come along and find out what these World K-cafes are about by contacting Helen on 0403 374 183 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
